The experience gained in this sector allows the firm to manage all questions linked to the need to (eliminate) manage administered assets, their guarantee and the relative tax aspects. In particular, foreign clients – who have come into possession of property through an inheritance – often ask us to take all the necessary steps for its use or sale. Numerous clients and companies use our services for the purchase and sale of property: in this case we carry out all the necessary checks and controls to guarantee a problem free purchase/sale.

Experience, combined with access to databases and hardcopy records, enables the firm to plan and develop legal and economic-legal research projects.

- Arbitration and Conciliation

The Palmigiano law firm advises and guides it clients in conciliation and arbitration procedures when these are necessary or opportune. Indeed, it is a well-known fact that the times of the Italian justice system are incompatible with a modern economic system and hence our attempts to offer our clients a more rapid, alternative and cost-effective solution. The firm’s professionals have gained in-depth knowledge of arbitration and conciliation procedures and this allows them to offer assistance even in the most complex cases of litigation. Indeed, many of the members of our staff: hold the qualification of professional conciliator; and/or have the know-how and skills needed to guarantee clients involved in conciliation procedures assistance that leads to a structured negotiation and which takes into consideration the interests of the parties and their needs; and/or have experience of arbitration procedures in the role of arbitrators, consultants or counsel.
